Feu Rouge

Can you name where these people are? And whose feet are these? Do you know who this is and why we should care? I don't...ahem Any idea what is special about this Paris garbage truck? There is a clue in the link-if you click on it that is... Where is this hound walking? Is this a belt or a...?

Can you name this designer? She does a lot of red stripes...

Can you name this artist?

Hint: he just has a big show at the Hotel de Ville but I didn't get to see it. Did you?

I MISS PARIS! Paris me manque terriblement and I NEED A FIX. Merci for giving me a temporary one, ma chère.I can answer a few of the questions...Some are guesses!

A pâtisserie in Paris (duh)

Christian Laboutin's red shoes- the ladies are obviously françaises- my guess is along the strip of designer shops near the Plaza Athenée (my hotels of choice are in the Rue Cler area- I just love to stroll through the lobbies of the big, fancy ones- I haven't been stopped yet!)

Warren Zavatta some comedian- I've only seen signs

garbage truck also cleans the street- it's green with the red stripes giving it the right color combo

Métro dog!

Red sweater tied around the waist- trop chic

Striped sweater? je ne sais pas- je ne shop pas

Petit Nicolas by Goscinny- I love that kid! I didn't go see the exhibit either, though.

Cosmetics at Au Bon Marché? Doesn't look like Galeries Lafayette- I prefer BM anyway because of the Grande Epicierie

Café has been consumed!

Maison de Presse sign- buy your magazines and newspapers

Pomegranate macarons? I need to try my hand at making these things soon! A friend brought me a box of them from La Durée last fall when I was in Arles and she came to visit... oh là là. Pure paradis.

Hello Carol,Laduree-Rue BonaparteCarla Bruni-Sarkosy's feetZavatta is a clown-grandson of another famous clown of the same nameGarbage truck is green with red door which emphasises the red warning signHound is in metro at Saint PaulIt's not a belt but a red pull (sweater)red stripes by AgnesBdrawing by Cabucosmetic counter is at Bon MarcheDeux express were drunk in the cafered sign means that tobacco and stamps are availablered macaroon is framboise (raspberry)Fauchon eclairsPrize?

My wife is in Sevre sw of paris today, I should send her out to check the answers. The only one I can get this early is tabac and maybe they were drinking chocolate I love your post it makes every day a bright and fun day. Thank you for all your work.

Can't tell you all the answers but did you see how the the guy in first picture had a red sweater matching his wife's red boots,It was great seeing all the red as l am one moaning they don't wear colour's and its my best colour, Jill xxx

I looove your website.Not sure where they are in the first photo but they are on the corner next to a stop light. The doggy is in the metro station, the woman walking is Madame Sarkozy, they are drinking cafes, or maybe espressos-- no milk. Street cleaner truck. That is a belt or a sweater. I think that is Agnes B or maybe Sonia Rykiel?The red sign is a pharmacy. The store is Printemps?And the flavor is framboise-- or red currrent.The eclairs look like Pierre Herme or Laduree.Ok, those are my guesses.A bientot, Lani

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
